Ralph Rucker Collection Fixed Price Pt II

S-123



LOT 163 1797 S-123 R4 VG7 Marginally sharper, especially on the reverse, but there is a dig left of the base of the L in LIBERTY, a rim bruise above that same letter, and a few smaller rim nicks on the obverse. Otherwise nice for the grade with smooth surfaces and only minor marks. Glossy light olive and chocolate. E-MDS with the reverse rotated about 25 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. The date is bold and the legends are strong. A variety that may be easier to find in mint state than well circulated thanks to the Nichols Hoard. A modest cent that comes with a nice provenance. $350 Ex New Netherlands Coin Co.
